Product Design

From evacuation slide deployment to fluid management systems of all types, every aircraft platform relies on a network for high-performance hoses that can handle extreme temperature fluctuations and other highly variable environmental conditions. NMG has years of experience designing aerospace hoses for easy storage and precise, rapid deployment. Our aerospace product design services experts can help you design a reliable hose that performs exactly as intended in all manner of applications.

Solenoids use electrical currents to power countless valves throughout many vital aerospace systems and assemblies. In 2016, NMG acquired Electromotive Inc., a leader in the design and manufacturing of custom solenoids, solenoid valves, and actuators since 1972. Today, NMG offers unmatched aerospace product design services for solenoid valves that can integrate seamlessly into numerous applications and withstand intense environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures and vibration.

From high altitude to cold climates, aircraft must be able to reliably manage ice buildup. NMG is a key aerospace product design supplier of deicing components and systems to industry leaders. Our experts have years of experience designing custom deicing components, including pressure regulation, isolation, relief, and distribution valves, to suit a wide range of aircraft platforms. From validation of new concepts to modifications of existing designs, you can count on NMG for comprehensive deicing system design support.

In some situations, manufacturing a specialized part requires designing a new manufacturing process, including customized fixtures for welding and fabrication. NMG offers highly customized fixture design for specialty aerospace components and applications. Our experts can develop fixtures that ensure tight tolerances, control shrinkage, and minimize warping on even the most complex aerospace components.

Aircraft wheels and brakes must be designed for both smooth transit and reliable operation in a range of conditions. NMG is proud to support the design process for aircraft wheels and brakes for Tier 1 aerospace companies and beyond.

Potable water and waste management systems for aircraft are expected to adhere to rigorous standards for sanitation and performance in what are often adverse service environment conditions. NMG understands the requirements of aerospace water and waste management systems and engages directly in the design process, informed by many years of experience developing reliable systems for platforms of all types. From thin-walled tanks to precision valves, NMG can help you design exceptional aircraft water and waste system components.

Aircraft evacuation slides and life rafts must be designed for fast, user-friendly deployment, so that the average passenger is capable of operating them in an emergency situation. NMG has been designing and manufacturing reliable aviation safety system components for many years. We understand the tight storage limitations for these systems, as well as the intense situations in which they are usually deployed, and can help you design each component with those unique factors in mind.

Depending on the platform, different types of aircraft seats are designed with different goals in mind. Commercial seats are designed for comfort, while crew seats are designed for swift and easy folding and storage. NMG can support the design of welded tube frames, folding mechanisms, and stretched and sewn fabric elements of high-performance crew seats. Our aerospace product development and design experience spans from individual components to full seating assemblies.
